Note from Audra:Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette Starts a New Show on Friday, August 5
Murder mystery dinner theater is back at Petite Violette with an all-new show: Top Gunnerton: The Maverick Who Loved Me. After the Yellowstonezark show finished last month, the cast of actors and producer (formerly of Agatha’s: A Taste of Mystery) are back with new material and new laughs.
According to Katie Kneeland, creative director of Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette, “Top Gunnerton is a mash-up of the popular TV show Bridgerton and the Top Gun movies. With The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience Atlanta opening last week, and Top Gun: Maverick still dominating the box office worldwide, this show is a timely take on an era of cut-throat high society competition. With costumes from the Regency Era, the show will transport guests back in time while immersing them in a murder mystery for the ages.”
Shows begin on August 5 and run on Fridays and Saturdays, at 7:30 p.m. The evening includes a four-course meal with wine, served between acts of the show. The event lasts approximately three hours. Guests can join the professional actors in scenes with dialogue or simply watch their party participate. Kneeland says it’s a fun and unique experience for first-timers and loyal followers, alike.

Greetings, dearest diners. Welcome to London, in the year 1815. A simpler, yet brutal, time. A time when ones standing in society meant everything. One was either accepted or shunned. The most powerful individual in the land is the Queen! It is time for her to choose her “diamond” of the season–London’s most incomparable debutante!
The young and accomplished Darlene Gunnerton is a strong contender for that enviable position. However, the competition is cut-throat. Many would like to see Darlene eliminated one way… or another.
At the same time, the crème de la crème of England’s’ Coachmen vie for the chance to convey the season’s “diamond” to all her events. The best Coachmen from around the country will attend Viscount “Viper” Gunnerton’s Carriage School. Only one coachman and his trusty footman will earn the top spot. But their competition is also cut-throat, and these candidates too, may soon be eliminated one way… or another.
Will Darlene be able to achieve her goal and not shame herself or her family? When all is said and done, who will be TOPGunnerton??? Find out by attending Murder, Mystery and Mayhem at Petite Violette! A life may depend on it.
